I’ve lost count tbh.

John singleton became the first black filmmaker to be nominated for an Oscar. He was just 24! Pretty impressive.

You seriously didn’t like that movie?

And what’s PC about young guys shooting each other. That happens all the time unfortunately.

1473 - Nicolaus Copernicus, who said the sun, nor the earth, was the center of our solar system, is born

My garage is the center of the universe but Copernicus never stopped by for some beer and some smoke.

It's the 80th anniversary of The Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest of WW2. I saw a brief interview with a survivor and veteran. He was only 16 at the time. He must have lied about his age in order to get into the military.

16, jeez!
Most guys are just getting their driver’s license.

On February 19, 1963, Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique

I think this is supposed to be the most important thing that happened today??

What a great reminder of movie history and the players involved!

John Singleton also directed 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), a prime example of a lead actor taking the director to the grave with him.
